Rating:

Main Description:Built about 1130 The Manor is one of the oldest continuously inhabited houses in the country. It was the home of Lucy Boston from 1939 and the setting for her Green Knowe children’s books so going round the house and garden visitors feel that they are walking into the books as many of the toys and other features mentioned in the books exist. The house, particularly, is a magical place for children to visit. In the winter Lucy Boston sewed exquisite patchworks. They form the only collection of this calibre worldwide which can be seen in the house where they were made. During the second world war, Lucy Boston gave gramophone recitals in the Music Room (which is virtually unchanged from when the house was built). The recitals were for airmen based locally and the old EMG gramophone is played during the tour.
